    TerraLUX Lightstar in 2-3 cell Mag Lite and Li Batteries

    Good info. I just wanted a C sized Li battery. I've had battery leakage problems. I'm not interested in rechargeables or conversions.

    TerraLUX Lightstar in 2-3 cell Mag Lite and Li Batteries

    I've had the emitter several years. Since it works for three 1.5 volt C cells I'd hope two Li C cells would be OK.

    TerraLUX Lightstar in 2-3 cell Mag Lite and Li Batteries

    I'm not finding an answer to my question. Will the TerraLUX run on lithium batteries OK? Many thanks!

    Maglite 2C

    I have a 2-C and 6-C Mag Light. I think they are easier to handle than D cell lights. I have a Terra Lux in the 2 C. 140 lumens is fine for me. I like LEDs and C cells for the increased run time. FYI: I dislike the "focusing black hole" and have a solution. 1. Screw down the head as far...

    Runtime vs. ......

    I guess my personally designed FL would be a rather large (2C) light for extended run time. Perhaps two settings; 50 lumens and 300 lumens. I just returned a light to a box retailer. It was a 3C with a 500 lumen high, a low, and strobe. It crushed the battery terminals in and nixed the...

    Runtime vs. ......

    I admit I am not a flashaholic. In a situation of social breakdown I think 50 hours of 50 lumens would be better than 5 hours of 500 lumens. :duh2:

    I haven't used D Maglites in years

    I have a 6C Maglight. I carried it as a cop. I also have a 2C.

    aspheric lens with side emitter?

    Apparently this won't work too well..? I have an EverLED in my Mag Light. I put in an aspheric lens with dismal results. Am I correct in thinking I need a Lambertian LED?

    Recommendations wanted for pocket flashlight & maybe a headlamp?

    9voltlight.com The pack-light is a 2-LED battery cap that snaps on a 9 volt battery. I've used mine nightly for over a year and it is still using the same cheap 9v that came with it.

    Re: Battery Vampires - Lights that you can feed your "dead" cells to, listing.. I have a blue LED 1AA CMG light I use at night for navagation in the house. I save AA batteries from my electric shaver for it.

    Which Flashlight do you use as a police officer??

    For about 9 years I used a 6C Maglight. I like the grip of a C over a D. This light has survived some rough falls out of a patrol car and makes an excellent impact device if needed. I have gone to a 2C Maglight recently for ease of carry. I am running an EverLED. And yes we are not to EVER use...

    EverLED/Maglight/side emitter

    Thanks for your perspective GreySave. I compared my side emitter EverLED in my 2C mag vs. Maglight's LED in my wife's 2D Mag, then tried her LED in my 2C. I like the high dome Mag better. It's good to have choices.

    EverLED/Maglight/side emitter

    I won't be getting another side emitter, but may try it out in a 6V lantern.

    EverLED/Maglight/side emitter

    I bought and installed an EverLED in my Maglight. Having a very limited knowledge base to work from I picked the side emitter to retain the ability to "focus". I now know 1)that Maglight's own stock LEDs are not side emitters. 2) "focusing" is not a selling point but a liability. 3) side...
